HACCP is more than just failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) for food: it is a product safety management system that evolved and matured in the commercial food processing industry allowing food processors to take a proactive approach to prevent foodborne diseases. Both the FDA and the USDA have embraced HACCP as the most effective method to ensure farm-to-table food safety in the United States. This handbook also assists the certification candidate preparing for the ASQ Certified HACCP Auditor (CHA) examination. It includes chapters covering the HACCP audit, the HACCP auditor, and quality assurance analytical tools.
